“Good but expensive - Pretentious, Moi!”

We had a lovely meal most of the food was lovely and the wine was good. The service was good and the location is very nice, @ with views over the canal.
However it is expensive and in my view they are not quite as good as they think they are. Expect to pay about 340 euros for 4 people...read more

​Hello Sir
I don't think to be what I'm not, and for sure I am simply what I am and -knowing to be not a great one- at every moment I do my best to improve the knowledge of myself and, by the occasion, myself too.
Honestly Sir, it's possible that I don't think nothing at all, probably I don't...

My wife & I had a lovely meal here with excellent and attentive service. Lovely location and a wonderful wine selection. The only constructive comment we had was that my wife was given a menu without prices in it for both mains and dessert. We discussed this practice with the owner at the end of our meal. We were informed...

Quite the best meal this year. Turbot cooked in the oven with olives, baby tomatoes and finely sliced potatoes - carefully filleted at the table with the best white wine I have ever had - a Soave Classico Riserva recommended by the knowledgeable staff. Lovely restaurant in a great area with terrific food and superb service - GO !!

all dishes were fresh and delicious. people in the restaurant were also very kind. they explained the dishes to us very well. since we sat outside, it was windy but the view from our table was excellent!~

I booked a table at the Riviera for my partner's birthday before arriving in Venice due to the reviews. The food was amazing, best food we’ve ever eaten. I felt so privileged to be eating there and would highly recommend the food and exceptional service. We will defiantly be returning to experience more of the menu on our next trip...

We were looking for a place to have a nice dinner and decided to drop in. Frankly speaking I was not sure because we were not dressed up and the restaurant was not looking like a place where you can drink beer and go:) I have to say that atmosphere in the restaurant is very nice and relaxing, waiters are...

During our visit to Venice, some friends had recommended this restaurant and it met our expecations.
As soon as we arrived we were welcomed by the owner of the restaurant. He spoke both perfect english and French (my wife is french) . The restaurant is quite "classy" so dress nicely...
Being pregnant, my wife couldn't eat everything and the waiter...

We had a birthday celebration here and it went great. The food was excellent and the service was attentive.
It is a classy restaurant. If you are looking for a restaurant with a lively ambience, this is not the place for you.

My wife and I had dinner at Riviera on our wedding night in Venice. We were in Venice in the off-season, so it was too cold to sit outdoors- Despite that, this was one of the best meals either of us has ever had. If you're in Venice in warmer weather months, I have to guess that would make for...
